This conclusion has been the predecessor Back Home and The Road to Escondido approved: one does not have. Clear: Clapton plates you can hear always, although carried out for a decade musically backward looking rather of historical analyzes of the blues or a tribute to individual artists. The selection of pieces is always interesting, of course, pure musical performance, all politically correct, but just no longer skirt, short, really boring.

The last record was still something like an own handwriting recognize despite drumcomputer Pilgrim was from 1998. And those seeking the historic Clapton, himself Cream Royal Albert Hall can be from 2005 or Live From Madison Square Garden along with Steve Winwood from 2008 mind lead. Collaborations, most recently with Jeff Beck, are the more exciting things that makes Clapton currently. And of course his Crossroads Guitar Festival. However, as regards the own musical development, Slowhand is no more gas. He does not have. Yet pity.
